I cannot thank you enough, I can honestly say that all of my clients have become my friends if they weren't already :)

And because of such an amazing year it is time to move on, grow, improve, and "go pro" I keep saying I'm a semi pro photographer or amateur wanting to go pro.
The time has come that I have to live in the now, stop putting off my dreams and go for it.

Who knows if God has granted me tomorrow and I want to live my life to the fullest.

And should I grow old and grey I want to look back with no regrets.

Even if I fail, I'd rather know that I tried.

With that in mind...the next coming weeks I'll be launching a new website, a new blog and so much more.

Thank you for tagging along with me so far in this journey and now it's on too the next adventure.

It's with much appreciation and love I express to you.

To finish off 2009 here's a slideshow of some of my favourites from the past year. It's not all and just a glimpse.

It was freeeezing on Sunday when we did this mini Christmas card shoot.

But it went VERY smoothly since this family is so freakin' photogenic.

Here's why I say that.....
Love the sunset light. Again I say....lighting is EVERYTHING.
Sunrise & sunset are always best.

Super cute Shannon

Love how the light reflects on her face & snow here

he, he

And the whole family

Thanks again you guys. I had fun despite the cold.
And thanks for being so EASY to photograph.

And that's it for 2009! Stay tuned though...despite the lack of posts as of late.
I'm working on a 2009 in Review video/slideshow, I'm also working on sending out thank you cards to my 2009 clients with a little something special, and lots of updates for the new things coming in 2010
It's going to be the best year yet.
Til next time, C.

I love Pioneer Woman, and I love her free actions that she shares on her website.

I've started using her actions as a main source of editing on a lot of my photos.

So for the next few weeks I'm going to share share how "I" use her actions to enhance my photos.
I don't put "effects" on most of my photos but some of them do require just that extra punch.
-------------------

If you have questions please submit them and I'll address them the best way I can in the following weeks.

Today I'm going to share how I use the "Seventies" action......

---------------

I'm sure you all recall one of my fav sessions from this summer with Myrna. We were going for a certain "look" with these photos and when it came time to process them the seventies action was PERFECT!

Let me show you how.....

Here's the straight out of the camera shot....I took this in manual mode.

It's not bad really...but as previously mentioned it wasn't the "look" we were going for...so....

This is how it looked with the seventies action applied

and here are they are side by side so you can see the difference

Hope this helps someone with defining their editing style.
And just seeing a glimpse into how I see and process my clients photos.
